Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a delightful dessert wine, showing lush stone fruit aromas and flavour. Plenty of sweet honey notes. Mouth coating texture and a long finish, too. Crafted in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula appellation. Enjoy.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Rich and lovely Vidal icewine, with aromas of peach, nectarine and honey. Full bodied, soft and silky on the palate with medium+ acidity to balance the richly concentrated fruit notes. Enjoy with blue cheese, dried fruit and nuts after dinner.
Winemaker's Note: Picked on the coldest nights, at temperatures of -10°C, these cool vintages deliver rich, intense flavours of apricot and honey with a smooth finish. Luscious and elegant, it stands alone or as the ultimate after-dinner choice.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
